As the first element of the overall PoF measurement, the estimate of ‘exposure’ (or ‘attack’) is anything that can damage a very weak pipeline component. This…
As the last piece of the PoF puzzle, an estimate of the component’s resistance against all failure mechanisms is sought. This includes a myriad of…
As the second element of the overall PoF measurement, mitigation is anything that prevents or lessens the exposure from reaching the component. PMM is an…
As with other failure modes, evaluating the potential for corrosion follows logical steps, replicating the thought process that a corrosion control specialist would employ. This…
Pipeline risk assessment tutorials In this section three case studies will be used to illustrate the methodology to calculate the probability of failure (PoF) for…
Published Article Damage vs Failure—A Risk Assessment Needs to Know the Difference Let’s take a deeper look into an aspect of the mechanics of good…
